FAN FRIDAY


 I am a fan of freedom,
And it makes me shed a tear,
When it seems that what was liberty,
Is replaced by doubt and fear.

Can we still say what we want to say,
Is it politically correct,
Are we afraid to speak our minds,
With "Big Brother" on our necks?

Can we raise our children like before,
When we could discipline with love,
Or will we be charged with child abuse,
Caged like a wounded dove?

Our Fathers fought for freedom,
Many died for freedom's cause,
But now God is not allowed in schools,
Not even Santa Clause!

I wonder when the day will come,
When I can't write these words,
When "they" say I'm a seditionist,
And never should be heard?

Remember, if you speak the truth,
And are found by the N.S.A.,
They may think you are a traitor,
Who hates the U.S.A.!

But all you want is freedom,
You're not talking gun and fist,
Just liberty and life,
And pursuit of happiness!

I am a fan of freedom,
And I think that you are, too,
So stand up and cry out LIBERTY,
Before it's taken from you!
